Ingredients Details
Olive Squalane
Common Name(s): Olive squalane,phytosqualane,certified plant squalane
CAS Number: 0111-01-03
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides certified olive-origin skin-identical hydrocarbon emolliency with highest natural credentials.
Why It's Used: Premium credentialled squalane โ olive squalane provides the most prestigious and verifiable squalane provenance from traditional mediterranean olive heritage, essential for brands requiring the highest supply chain transparency and natural origin documentation.
How It Works: Identical molecular formula to other plant squalane (c30h62) โ chemically indistinguishable. origin verified via carbon-14 isotope analysis or supply chain documentation. extracted from olive oil deodoriser distillate then hydrogenated. traditional mediterranean sourcing from certified olive mills.
Typically Found In: Premium mediterranean skincare,certified natural products,verified sustainable beauty
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care

Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional - feedstock declaration required
Halal Status: Unverified - feedstock declaration required (plant, animal and petrochemical routes all exist)
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source. [audit 2026-07-29 rev2: origin-dependent: the same inci exists in plant, animal and petrochemical versions and the name does not discriminate. determination requires shariah-panel sign-off.]
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2026-01-05 00:00:00 -0800
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Olive squalane's origin verification via carbon-14 isotope dating (plant carbon has different ยนโดc signature than petrochemical carbon which has no ยนโดc from being geologically old) provides scientific authenticity validation โ an absolute verification method distinguishing genuine plant-derived from petroleum-derived squalane that cannot be falsified by adulteration.

Snail Secretion Filtrate
Common Name(s): Snail secretion filtrate,helicid regenerative complex,multi-function skin repair
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Hydrates through the glycoprotein and hyaluronic acid matrix, exfoliates mildly through glycolic acid, soothes through allantoin, stimulates collagen synthesis through growth factor-active glycoproteins, and supports scar and damage repair from the regenerative secretion complex.
Why It's Used: Provides a multi-ingredient active complex โ hyaluronic acid, allantoin, ahas, collagen, antimicrobial peptides โ in natural ratios optimised by snail biology for rapid tissue repair, delivering multi-benefit activity from a single ingredient.
How It Works: Snail secretion glycoproteins activate egf receptors on keratinocytes stimulating proliferation and migration; vegf-like molecules promote angiogenesis. allantoin provides healing; glycolic acid provides mild exfoliation; the mucin polysaccharide hydration matrix provides barrier protection during the regenerative process.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging,scar repair,k-beauty
